Rick Shiels Takes On Cameron Smith With a Ten‑Shot Head Start
Rick Shiels faces Cameron Smith in a fun 18‑hole challenge at Glen Kernan, starting ten under par to see if he can fend off the Open Champion. Rick Shiels has taken on some big golfing names over the years, but his latest challenge might be his toughest yet. In a new video, the YouTube star goes head-to-head with Cameron Smith, who gives Shiels a massive ten‑shot head start over 18 holes at Glen Kernan Golf and Country Club in Jacksonville, Florida. Smith hardly needs an introduction to Aussie golf fans.

Cam Davis Inches From Par‑4 Hole-In-One in Phoenix
Cam Davis delivered one of the most exciting moments of the WM Phoenix Open when he nearly made a hole‑in‑one on the par‑4 17th at TPC Scottsdale. Taking an aggressive line with his driver, the Australian watched his ball land on the front of the green and roll directly toward the cup before slipping just past the hole. The near miss left him only a few feet for eagle, and the crowd erupted at just how close he had come to an incredibly rare albatross on a par‑4. Although the shot stopped short of history, Davis calmly tapped in the eagle putt that remained.

A quick reminder about alignment before your golf shot and what Rule 10.2b(3) allows, and forbids. We all need the occasional rules reminder, and today’s is an important one, especially for anyone who likes to double‑check their setup before a shot. This one’s all about aligning yourself correctly and what you can and can’t do with your golf clubs when doing it. Under Rule 10.2b(3) of the Rules of Golf, a player must not set any object down - including a golf club - to help with aiming or taking a stance.

Golf Fan Keeps Drinking After Schenck’s Ball Lands In His Cup
Adam Schenck’s wayward approach at The American Express took an unexpected turn when it landed in a spectator’s drink, prompting a calm reaction from the fan. Adam Schenck’s approach shot on the 16th during round one of The American Express tournament took an unusual turn when it bounced off spectator Brad Harmeyer’s chest and landed directly in his cranberry‑flavoured drink. Rather than fuss over it, Harmeyer simply raised the cup to the crowd and even took another sip with the ball still floating inside. Schenk walked over laughing, apologised, and told the fan he owed him a replacement drink before signing the ball as a keepsake.

Hanging With Tiger Woods? St. André Golf Shows What It’s Really Like
St. André Golf have delivered another great comedy sketch, and this one stars Tiger Woods during a recent Bridgestone Golf shoot. The group has been working with Bridgestone’s roster for the past couple of years — including Tiger, Jason Day, Fred Couples and others — producing a mix of behind‑the‑scenes chaos, goofs and pure golf fan joy. This isn't the first time they've hung out with Tiger Woods as part of the Bridgestone Golf partnership. In this latest video, the St. André crew leans into the idea of what it’s “really like” hanging out with Tiger Woods — you know, totally normal, very chill… and definitely not anxiety‑inducing at all.

Travis Head Sinks a Big Putt at Adelaide Blitz Golf
Travis Head swapped his bat for a putter and delivered a moment to remember at Adelaide’s Blitz Golf. Travis Head proved his sporting versatility at Adelaide’s Blitz Golf tournament, rolling in a clutch downhill putt that had the crowd roaring at Kooyonga Golf Club. The cricket star, fresh off Test duties, showed nerves of steel as the ball broke sharply before dropping into the cup. Head was part of a lively foursome featuring entertainer Ron Chopper, local pro Wade Ormsby, and Adelaide Crows captain Jordan Dawson. The group kept the atmosphere light, but Head’s putt stole the show—arms raised high and a grin from ear to ear as fans cheered.

From LIV to PGA: Brooks Koepka’s Controversial Return
Brooks Koepka’s PGA Tour return isn’t just big news, it’s stirring up plenty of debate among fans and fellow pros. Brooks Koepka is back on the PGA Tour in 2026 after leaving LIV Golf late last year, and his return is already proving divisive. Under a new “Returning Member Program,” the five-time major winner qualified thanks to his 2023 PGA Championship triumph and will tee it up at the Farmers Insurance Open before heading to Phoenix. For fans who felt the LIV exodus fractured the game, this move is anything but straightforward.

Talking golf with Rory McIlroy has always been fun and fascinating for this reporter. Looking forward to hearing more from him re Royal Melbourne. The suspicion is that, given the restrictions of modern equipment, he cannot play the course the way it is meant to be played. Which is a great sadness.

Quite a contrast today. Between a historic championship played on a truly great course…and an utterly meaningless exhibition played out on a resort course….. 🤷‍♂️
